Thu, 28 Jul 2011 21:41:12 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=28900#comment-50987you’re speaking of the same team that was openly booed by a segment of the population during the 2004 Olympics.

No where in anyone contracts does it say they have to play in the Olympics and considering the “Amateur” nature of the Olympics, they shouldn’t want pro athletes in the Games anyway.

Both players, owners and league heads are extremely well-paid for what they do. For their infighting to bleed into other international events is perturbing.
